Abstract
 This study focuses on the water-supply pipeline damage in northwestern Miyagi Prefecture, where the seismic ground motion is predominant cause rather than tsunami and liquefaction. The information on damage to water pipeline was collected from 5 cities and towns; Osaki, Misato, Matsushima, Kurihara and Shiogama. The pipeline damage information was compiled in the GIS. Fragility due to pipe diameter and pipe material was confirmed to be similar as one in the previous study. Especially the fragility of small diameter vinyl pipeline which is commonly used in the rural area is useful for damage estimation in the future.
